[PATCH] net/virtio: fix descriptors buffer addresses on 32 bits builds

Hi Maxime,
I back ported the patch to v22.11.2 and it worked for us on both the testpmd app and with our 32-bit DPDK (virtio-pci) application.  The change to set the mbuf_addr_mask was moved under virtio_init_queue() in v22.11.2 (see below).

I’m in the process of updating the application to v23.07 and will test there as well.  Thank you for looking into this and providing the patch.
Regards, Dave

Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio: fix descriptors buffer addresses on 32 bits builds
With Virtio-user, the Virtio descriptor buffer address is the
virtual address of the mbuf's buffer. On 32 bits builds, it is
expected to be 32 bits.

With Virtio-PCI, the Virtio descriptor buffer address is the
physical address of the mbuf's buffer. On 32 bits builds running
on 64 bits kernel, it is expected to be up to 64 bits.

This patch introduces a new mask field in virtqueue's struct to
filter our the upper 4 bytes of the address only when necessary.
An optimization is introduced for 64 bits builds to remove the
masking, as the address is always 64 bits wide.

Fixes: ba55c94a7ebc ("net/virtio: revert forcing IOVA as VA mode for virtio-user")
